| I was young and single | 
| Glad that i was free | 
| Had my whole life ahead | 
| There was nothing stoppin me | 
| Headed out to Vegas, me and all my friends | 
| Just a bunch of clowns runnin round in a town of sin | 
| Ten shots later and one double dare | 
| Met a girl said I do in some chapel out there | 
| That was the best mistake I ever made | 
| The Lord works in mysterious ways | 
| Chose a wrong path all my life | 
| But for once I did something right | 
| And just one look in her and I see | 
| Someone smiling down on me | 
| And I’m not too proud to say | 
| That was the best mistake I ever made | 
| Trying to start a family was the last thing we had planned | 
| Till I came home from work | 
| She had her head in her hands | 
| I could see the worry | 
| Through the teardrops in her eyes | 
| She said, «How we gonna do this when we’re barely gettin by?» | 
| We wern’t prepared for all those changes in our world | 
| That all changed when the doctor said it’s a girl | 
| That was the best mistake I ever made | 
| The Lord works in mysterious ways | 
| Chose a wrong path all my life | 
| But for once I did something right | 
| And just one look in her and I see | 
| Someone smiling down on me | 
| And I’m not too proud to say | 
| That was the best mistake I ever made | 
| There’s consequences to the decisions in our lives | 
| Just cause we didn’t mean to do it that don’t mean that it ain’t right | 
| That was the best mistake I ever made | 
| The Lord works in mysterious ways | 
| Chose a wrong path all my life | 
| But for once I did something right | 
| And just one look in her and I see | 
| Someone smiling down on me | 
| And I’m not too proud to say |
